Hi Trevor, I totally get the partnership struggles—communication can be tricky.

It looks like the process in Miami-Dade County (MDC) is quite different, with apparently judicial foreclosures being the predominant method for power of sale enforcement.

They filed complaints with the city between court dates to keep things pending and they used any method they could find to cause continuances.

It's not for a lack of trying.I've asked him to try working some other channels to see what we can put together for you.Sorry for any slow communication; it's a crazy time in the markets and the low/tight inventory has made it rather challenging for everyone in the industry.I'll follow up with Micheal more tomorrow.Feel free to contact me anytime!

You can look into the BiggerPockets-affiliated software for landlords here in the Tools section.Another option could be a local Realtor who either works a ton of rentals or does a lot of business in North Austin.The software route may still require involvement on your end i.e. setup, communication, document review, etc. 

@Anthony DelVecchioTo house hack a property, rent it out after the first year, obtain another FHA loan if necessary, refinance the FHA loan into a conventional loan, use a conventional loan for subsequent properties, and repeat the process to acquire additional properties, diversify financing methods, consider different property types, leverage equity, and network with real estate professionals.Good luck!
